In the suburbs, the security forces again broke into the mosque in shoes

Today, the police interrupted Friday prayers to check documents at the mosque in the city of Dzerzhinsky, Moscow Region. At the request of the imam and parishioners not to walk in shoes, "uninvited guests" in camouflage did not react in any way.
 
One of the believers reached out with his hand to the feet of the policeman. He wanted to indicate that you need to take off your shoes. The security officer began to threaten, which caused a small quarrel. The leadership of the mosque intends to write a statement to the prosecutor's office.

Recently, a similar incident occurred in Kotelniki near Moscow. The parishioners of the mosque complained about the actions of the OMON, which disrupted the Friday prayer. Without taking off their shoes, the security forces broke into the room where people were praying, shouting and cursing. They used physical force and insulted the parishioners, most of whom were Russian citizens.

Muslims recorded a video message to President Vladimir Putin. At the same time, the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Russia has not yet shown any reaction - not a single word in defense of fellow believers, not a single appeal to power and law enforcement agencies.
